For the Love of Wisdom

Listen Later

We celebrated Valentine's Day a couple of weeks ago and with love still in the air, today we start a new discussion on the Wisdom of Agapism. Enjoy!

  • Agapism, which derives its name from the Greek word “agape” meaning “love”, is a deontological system of ethics consisting of one simple command: in every situation, do the loving thing, whatever that may be (moralphilosophy.info).
  • "We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone" – Orson Welles
  • On today's show, The 40 Day Fire: Burning Away All That Does Not Resemble Your Destiny, the audiobook was discussed. You can download and listen to this audiobook for free from Audible by clicking on this link: http://www.audibletrial.com/lovewisdom

    Show Theme Verse: Psalm 90:12 – “Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts” (Christian Standard Bible [CSB]).

    The original meaning of the word philosophy comes from the Greek roots philo- meaning "love" and -sophos, or "wisdom."

    The theme song was written by Jason C. Johnson aka Vytal MC. For more from JC Johnson including exclusive music, books, and videos visit his website at http://www.oneplanmedia.com
